After the E-tron concept and the E-tron Detroit Show car, Audi has brought us the e-tron technology platform based on the R8 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
The R8 E-tron is powered by four motors – two on the front an
d two in the rear axles that each connect to their respective wheel by the use of a small shaft. This setup delivers 313 hp and 4,500 Nm (3,319 lb-ft) of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds. The car measures 1.90 meters wide, 4.43 meters long, and 1.25 meters tall. The special package of the Audi e-tron technology platform provides a 42:58 weight distribution between the front and rear axles and therefore ensures perfect balance and driving dynamics. There is a triangular double wishbone suspension positioned in the front while the back gets a trapezoidal-link rear suspension. This is balanced on 19" wheels.A cable and plug allow the Audi R8 E-tron’s energy storage to be powered by your household current of 230 volts/16 amperes. Charging time is about 6-8 hours when the battery has been completely depleted and goes down to about 2.5 hours when high voltage is used.
We expect to see the Audi R8 e-tron towards the end of 2012.
